Mix chocolate chips and cream cheese. Spread half of the mixture between two pieces of bread.

Mix eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Cut bread in quarters. Dip in egg wash. Place oil in heavy sauté pan over medium high heat and heat to temperature. Cook bread slices in pan until golden brown. Top with sliced strawberries (if desired), or serve with maple syrup and butter.

Place a thin layer of cream cheese and jam on one slice of bread and then cover with a second slice, making a sandwich. Dip the sandwich in the egg-milk mixture and cook in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from heat, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and top with blueberries (if desired) or serve with maple syrup.

They sound divine!! Its sunday morning here and as i read those recipes I am mentally checking my pantry cupboard to see if i have the ingredients to go and make them for brunch.

Don't go yet. Here are some cream cheese flavors I bumped into that are sold ready made. Ooops, just noticed it's for bread, but don't see why we couldn't make the cream cheese flavors at home. (Hmmm, how about blueberry cream cheese? Why am I torturing myself like this! )
